blessings

sitting here having one of those moments when i realize just how blessed i am. i have a husband who pushes me to be the best i can be, loves me no matter what, and supports me in everything. he works so hard to support us as a family and makes so many sacrifices that i'm sure some i haven't even noticed..but i'm thankful! i've been with him almost 10 years and he still makes my heart skip a beat.

i have a little boy who, when he smiles, can light up even the darkest room. he is so happy and full of life and joy, a kid who is ALWAYS on the move (!), and into something. he's really into his airplanes and trains lately (and being a pirate).. he is constantly finding some new critter outside to come and "show" me--yes, i will be in trouble in a few years i have a feeling..and pretty much he just lives life to the fullest! and he loves his mommy and daddy SO much!! he comes up to me at least 2 times a day to let me know...my heart melts all over the floor into puddles...

i have a baby girl who is very daring, always pushing the limits and exploring until i come rescue her. sometimes she gets stuck, but she always finds a way out. definitely a risk taker. she thinks her big brother is the best thing ever and will follow him while holding onto the backs of his shirts while he walks. she's not much of a talker, but she gets her point across because she definitely has attitude. she's not exactly a girly girl because right now she'd much rather just play with her brother's cars than with any of her dolls, but at least she still will tolerate dresses. she is a serious baby, though..loves her mommy and daddy, but still very cautious about certain things...

i don't know. it's just one of those days i'm in a sappy mood. just needed to say all that. i've been given a big job to love and respect my husband and raise two wonderful kids. yes, sometimes (MOST of the time) i feel like i want to pull my hair out of my head because i'm just staying busy keeping everyone happy, but it's an honor to be entrusted with 3 people to care for. i need to say this more often because i do value them all so much!!
